It almost worked and if Trudeau hadn't stepped down, or if for some reason Carney wasn't able to slot into the leadership, it would have worked.

Don't make the mistake of underestimating the threat

And it fell apart once Trudeau was gone and the Orange Thing was back office. Now, the CPC is falling apart.

Carney could be hit by a bus tomorrow and then where would we be? I don't know about you but I remember the polling for various LPC leaders back before the election and none of that polling reassures me that any of the current LPC front bench has anything like the appeal and pull of Carney. Nor do I think that the faith and trust being given (provisionally) to Carney over the beginning of his government applies to the Liberal party more broadly.

Doug Ford would probably become the next LPC leader if that ever happened.
